If SELinux is disabled, you should be able to see any differences in how rsyslog
is started by looking at the resulting command line with ps (or thorugh /proc)
There has to be something different about the way they are being started if one
works and the other doesn't.
Are you saying that DebugOnDemand must be set for rsyslog to work properly? or
that you are only trying to start it with that set?

Subject: Re: [rsyslog] Question on DoDie
Verified SELinux is disabled on both VMware instance and baremetal
installs, and no systemd, only the traditional service init functions.
There doesn't appear to be any differences between the scripts:
/etc/init.d/rsyslog and the /etc/rc.d/rc#.d/S12rsyslog
There appears to be something ''unknown'' happening on vmware instance for
service init, which could relate to the udev rules, kdump, being different
from baremetal, or another aspect which makes a difference when setting
DebugOnDemand and starting from /etc/init.d/rsyslog instead of service
rsyslog start.
Both methods of starting the rsyslog service appears to work, but will not
stop and restart properly. However stop/start/restart will succeed
consecutively, only when started by '/etc/init.d/rsyslog start' while
DebugOnDemand value set for rsyslog debug env.
Since it is consistently, only a problem on systems that are VMs on 8.2.2
and now 8.4.2, even with RHEL6.2 recently upgraded to RHEL6.5 and issue
persists.
Anyone have an answer to more specific difference between init.d/rsyslog
start and service rsyslog start on RHEL6.x?
Thanks!

This sounds like it's more likely a problem with the service
scripts/systemd config than with rsyslog itself.
what is different between /etc/init.d/rsyslog start and service rsyslog
start?
is the command line any different? or are they started with different
SELinux settings?

I have encountered similar issue which is repeatable when running RHEL6 on
VMware instances, with RSyslog 8.4.2.ad1, where shutdown takes a very long
time and does not report the exit signal to /var/log/messages as it does
on
baremetal installs. The issue is that rsyslog stop/exit message only
appears in /var/log/messages if started/restarted from init.d/rsyslog when
having rsyslog debug env value set DebugOnDemand.
Running service rsyslog stop/start or restart will show the exit and start
messages, but the next stop or restart will fail to report the
exit/service
stop message because rsyslog needs to be started by
init, "/etc/init.d/rsyslog start" instead of "service rsyslog start",
along
with the debugging on demand, present but inactive. Otherwise, when
rsyslog
is started without debugging, or from service rsyslog start, the stop /
exit message is lost, and the slowdown indicates other issues with the
shutdown/processes...
Are these issues already corrected in the upcoming 8.6.0 release, with
announcement of bug fix for shutdown issues when running with more than
one
thread, or support for RHEL7 systemd, backwards compatible with RHEL6
service rsyslog scripts?
Thanks,
Kendall
